If our Grandparents had had AIBU

[QueenOfTheAlley]

AIBU to get DS to light the fire every morning? He's 6yo and very good at it (unlike 9yo DD)

AIBU to make DDs watch coronation. They want to go out and play as they have a day off school but neighbours have bought a TV specially.

Your DD can't lay a fire at 9? She needs to learn that for when she has a house to run.

BTW they are now asking why they have to put on their Sunday best when the queen isn't going to see them. That's hardly the point is it!

AIBU to deliberately drink so much gin it puts my breastfed DC to sleep? The doctor recommended it, but it gives me a terrible headache.

She says she's going to marry a man who can do it.

AIBU to make DD wear a full length slip under every outfit no matter what the weather, and DSes long johns and a vest? They say they don't want to as it's July, but everyone knows they'll catch their death of cold (and maybe TB) without full undercrackers on.

AIBU. To expect that once I have whitewashed my step my DH doesn't come home and tread coal dust all over it!

Aibu to wish that Mrs Jones from number 10 would stop talking about her Alberts "problems downstairs" when we are down the laundry. It's every Monday without fail. I feel like I know more about alberts bits than my own husbands.

my grandmother, sneaking onto great granny#s account,

am I unreasonable to think that this flying lark will never catch on? (1908)

1912: (now with own account) think I will stick to going to the next village for a day out instead of travelling, sounds most dangerous.

1914: AIBU to think it will all be over by christmas.

later: bereavement board. AiBu to be upset that dfriend is not coming home despite lots of other boys not coming back either.

aibu to think that I should be able to vote?

AIBU to think it's outrageous that my orphaned cousin (9yo) is being sent to Canada, by the UK government, for a new life?

I never really believed Granny but that actually happened. Poor orphaned children were sent to the Colonies to help with Labour shortages from 1869 right up until the 1960s. 150,000 children were sent.
